I keep getting an error message about my header row being invalid when importing a CSV file. I tried changing it to the sample from this article and it's still not working. Any ideas?
@HeatherPrice I recommend that you make sure the file is getting saved as a csv with UTF-8 encoding before you attempt to import it into Canvas; many times Excel changes the encoding to something else. Then I second @Ron_Bowman's suggestion that you export the gradebook from the Canvas course, add the grades from Performance Matters to the gradebook export, and then import that edited csv to the course.
@HeatherPrice -
Is this a csv file that your completely created from scratch? Or did you modify a downloaded csv file from the course? If the file is from scratch, I suggest downloading the gradebook from canvas and then keeping all the columns at the beginning and then get rid of all the assignment score columns and extra columns except for what you are trying to upload and use that file.
One last thought ( I just recently did this, and it will be rare if it applies to you) - if you are using a script from UC-Boulder that has an import button for certain items to the gradebook(If you have no idea what I mentioned here, then it is not the problem), then don't use that import option - just make sure that you use the import option from the menu options in the gradebook.
More information on exactly what you are trying to import would help as well.
I am trying to import a CSV file from an application called Performance Matters. I exported the data from P.M. and then converted the file to CSV and edited the header row to match what Canvas shows in their example.
Yes we have Canvas synced to PS. The problem is Performance Matters, which is tied into PS only syncs to PS. So teachers at the moment are having to manually put in Canvas the grades form P.M, which we are trying o avoid. The information within the spreadsheet are grades and the information is pretty spot on so I am not sure how to make this work.
I am using excel
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
